[MilCom] QUEEN Flight (or CLEAN)

[Rob Berezowski]

Thanks John. 

Now, bear in mind that virtually all ATC communications in Canada 
(civilian and military) are on VHF. The only time you'll hear UHF in use 
is if there is a military aircraft (usually from the US) that has only UHF 
capable radios. I'm not even sure if there are any aircraft left in this 
day and age that have UHF only. In Canada UHF is used exclusively at 
military airfields, but for military aircraft talking to civilian ATC it's 
all VHF. 

After doing some more Internet checking, I'm kind of leaning more towards 
the CLEAN callsign.

Rob

I'll take a WAG and say it was CLEAN ..... possibly KC-135s since you 
heard them on victor.

DIK is vortac in N.Dakota, DPR is in S. Dakota .... logical continuation 
would be to Sioux Falls, home of 114FW [F-16].  Possibly a deployment 
coming up  ........... ???


As I said,    WAG
